Have you been looking for the fastest way to lose belly fat? If so, you may have seen numerous advertisements promising you great abs in just a few days. Don't be fooled by these promotions. The secret to losing fat around your belly does not lie in starving yourself, but rather in having belly fat burning food that is healthy.
1. The raw food diet is a style of eating in which all things consumed must never have been heated above 116 degrees F. This excludes all processed foods, and most foods that have been cooked using typical methods. By including raw foods in your diet, you keep the enzymes within the foods alive. The theory is that if the foods can digest themselves using their still-living enzymes, it will give the body the opportunity to work on other problems, for example, your belly fat. Most fruits and vegetables can be consumed raw and they are readily available at the grocery store or produce market.
2. Next, you also want to make sure you don't skip meals on a regular basis. Doing so is going to make it a lot more likely that you overeat later on, making it harder to melt belly fat off your body. Eating regular frequent meals will help keep blood sugar level stable, helping to prevent energy highs and energy lows.
3. Olives are one of the oldest foods known to man and have been around for over 8000 years so they must have something going for them! The authors of the Flat Belly Diet certainly think so! They are highly concentrated in MUFAs and also contain vitamin E and it's inherent antioxidant protection. The health-boosting compounds found in olives can help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and reduce the severity of asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. When buying olives search for ones that are naturally cured as opposed to lye-processed. They can be used in a variety of dishes to add flavour and are sure to help you on your quest to lose weight.
4. Studies have shown food containing processed white sugar, cause fluctuations in blood glucose levels. And put you at risk of heart disease and diabetes. Cut your intake of sugar. Use no more than 5 teaspoons of sugar. If you must use sugar use the raw cane type.and eat food that contain complex sugars which takes a long time for the body to absorb.
5. You can eat chocolate and lose weight! How cool is that?! Just make sure it is the right kind. Dark chocolate is a potent anti-oxidant containing nearly 8 times the amount of anti-oxidant flavonoids as strawberries and has been shown to lower blood pressure and cholesterol. It stimulates endorphin production, which gives a feeling of pleasure and contains serotonin, which acts as an anti-depressant. If you are serious about embarking on the Flat Belly Diet system be sure to look for pure dark chocolate without any unhealthy fillings such as caramel or nougat. Make sure you don't wash it down with milk which has been shown to prevent the anti-oxidants contained in the chocolate from being absorbed or used by your body.
6. When you take adequate rest and sleep your body and become refreshed. You have less stress. When you get enough rest you accelerate your fat burning activity of your body. You are on your way to lose belly fat and stay fit with these tips.
7. Almonds and walnuts (which can also be eaten raw) are MUFAs that are quite easy to fit into any eating plan. They can be sprinkled on a salad or packed in a Ziploc bag. Some other MUFAs that should be incorporated in a diet are olive and flaxseed oil and avocados. Whole grains such as brown rice have also been shown to cut more belly fat than more refined grains. The calcium in low-fat milk and yogurt has a fat-burning effect, while the full-feeling from lean protein and eggs can satisfy your appetite more than a typical carbohydrate-centered meal.
